Room and toilets not well equipped. The hotel descriptions on hotels.com does not reflect actual conditions in the hotel (example description indicates room includes sattelite channels where in reality there is no tv in the room). Hotel is relatively messy and the main bath is located in the reception area.

Not bad for a one night stay.

Initially I had reserved a room with a bathroom, but was switched, for unknown reasons, to a single's tatami room. That struck me as odd, but none the less, I had a room and shelter from the sweltering Kyoto heat. Please beware, the owner has severely limited English skills, and her Japanese is okay. However, her Chinese is very fluent. I was able to communicate with her through Japanese and Chinese, and she was doing her best and was very helpful. The single's, no bathroom, tatami room, is extremely small. I am about 5 foot 10 inches, and laying down with my head to the wall across from the door, there was about a few more inches till my foot reached touched the door. Although small, it is clean, and the AC unit was a huge plus. Unfortunately the walls are thin, so you can hear everyone shuffle around outside in the hallway. Furthermore, you can hear the traffic, if you have the room facing the main street (shichido kawaramachi I believe), throughout the night. The price is okay, but you can find better.

A bit pricey for what you get. It is clean and secure. However, the room is very small. Staff was courteous.

Convenient for Kyoto Station

As the name implies, this is a family owned hotel. The room I booked was a Japanese-style room, i.e. tatami mats and mattress, no bed. The room was clean and well looked after.
It was a little noisy as the room was next to the shared bathroom.
